TLDR
This is the first study providing evidence for Zika virus infection causing Guillain-Barré syndrome, and because Zika virus is spreading rapidly across the Americas, at risk countries need to prepare for adequate intensive care beds capacity to manage patients with Guillay-B Barré syndrome.About:

TL;DR: The widespread outbreak and accelerating increase in the number of cases in Puerto Rico warrants intensified vector control and personal protective behaviors to prevent new infections, particularly among pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Diagnosis of Zika Virus Infection.
TL;DR: Research is urgently needed to identify Zika virus epitopes that do not cross-react with other flavivirus antigens, and development of accurate antibody tests for the diagnosis of recent Zika infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Zika Virus Infection.
TL;DR: Zika virus (ZIKAV) emerged from obscurity when an Asian genotype ZIKAV caused an outbreak of mild febrile illness in 2007 in Yap State, Federated States of Micronesia.

[Guillain-Barré syndrome].
TL;DR: High-dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg daily for 5 days) and PE are equally effective in intermediate and severe forms and the choice between the two treatments depends on their respective contra-indications and local availability.
